TeamCouncilofGreen, originally uploaded by bluestella.

I wasn’t able to do a full length theme for my past-college group but have got something before we leave college. I am not saying this will be my last editing “photoshopping” yet I’ll be setting up something for my past-barkada. Iba parin yung nakasama ko for the past 3 years. Hope one of this days magkasama sama naman ang Team yung isang grupo na tila walang kaguluhan walang awayan, walang problema. Alam kong kaya parin ng grupo na maging isang malaking group that Benilde once had.

Go Team Council of Green. Hope to see the group soon and hope that we will have a big fiesta party one time.

St. John Bosco – Patron Saint of Magicians

I was busy googling about present administration of my alma mater, Don Bosco Makati and again came through my wits that I misses my school.  I googled for some quotation about Don Bosco, what he said, what famous quotation were. I came through this site having our Patron Saint as the Saint of magician. yikes~

St. John Don Bosco – Patron Saint of Magicians

When most people, Catholics or not, find out that there actually is a Catholic saint whose sphere of influence includes stage magic, they generally ask if I’m sure. The answer is, I’m very sure. January 31 is the day set aside on the Catholic liturgical calendar to honour St. John Don Bosco. Don is simply the Italian honorific for a respected person, equivalent to our Sir. He was referred to as Don even during his life by both villagers and the children for whom he cared. Many people would wonder how it is how it is that the Catholic Church and magic could get mixed up together. During the later half of the 19th century, as Europe’s poor were suffering from the effects of Industrialization, Don Bosco saw how most of the children in his village remained uneducated and unchurched. After Mass on Sundays, he would round up his little friends and relate the Bible stories he learned in church to them. To keep their attention he would use magic tricks as he retold these stories. As a young man, Don Bosco became a priest and directed his ministry solely to poor children. He needed a way to get kids interested in coming to church and to accept the aid he was offering. He used puzzles, riddles and juggling but it was the magic that most quickly caught the kids’ attention. Stories that have come down to us from his contemporaries include some specific tricks he used. He was said to be especially good at tying three ropes together to form one seamless rope in order to explain the mystery of the Christian Trinity. He also would pull coins from ears and change pebbles into money delighting the children who were under his care. Don Bosco started a community of Catholic priests, nuns and brothers who still to this day help street kids and youth in gangs throughout the world including New York City. Catholic magicians in Europe still celebrate this day by performing benefit shows for children. Some Catholic magicians in America celebrate the day in their own creative ways. Though the day might easily go past us, as it has so many times previously, it’s gratifying to sit and reflect, whether or not you are Catholic, on the “magical effect” that tricks have on people and especially children. The real magic occurs when, during performances, we can transport our audience to an alternative world and reality, even if for only a few seconds. Being able to show something fantastic, something “unbelievable” is our special province. Magic can allow us to bring gasps, smiles and open-mouth gapes to anyone we wish. We intentionally stupefy, stagger, mesmerize, enthral and amaze for no other reason than to see the smiles on a thousand faces. It’s not so strange that our most appreciative audiences are frequently kids; they are the most willing to temporarily suspend belief. When we look back to the first magic trick we can remember, it’s not so hard to see why Don Bosco chose to help kids with the use of magic. Happy Don Bosco day everyone! “They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his magic.” – Acts of the Apostles 8:11

A(H1N1), one on one

What’s with H1N1 that people here are so scared of? Are there written articles about it? Yes you will be reading something from me now. This was actually mailed to me by my friend. Just take a look.

A = stands for the type of influenza or the effect it can cause to the victim
it can be A, B orC but the A type is the strongest type cause it may casue death
pero it’sthe same sa mga influenza na nakilala na natin beforehand

anyhooo

H stands for Hemagglutinin it is the protein that is responsible for the attachment on the host cell
so yung first step na gagawin ng virus is to inject the rna or dna na dala nya so yang H protein na yan ang parang nag seset ng program in order for the virus to enter

while

N stands for Neuraminidase which is responsible for the breaking up of the host cell
kasi after the adhesion to the membranes the is a reassembling happening inside the affected cell dun nagfoform yung head, body and tail part ng virus tapos the N protein will program the cell to burst so that the offsprings of the  virus can get out and infect more cells. ayun kumalat na ang cells

and then

the number represents the variations of that disease brought by the virus

example sa HIV there are many variations na so ranging from 1 up to 1000 na siguro ahaha joke lang tapos ayun nagpakabibo ako sabi ko bakit yung cure for the HIV patients up to now wala eh kung ang vaccine naman pala for disease brought by a virus ay yung makakapigil sa protein to do its job

sabi ng prof ko madami na daw reasearch ang nagawa yung iba promising pero hindi parin mapatay patay yung different variations ng HIV virus kaya ayun let’s pray na sana sooner matagpuan ang mga cure sa ganitong nakakatakot na disease

and mag-iingat tayo kasi kapag nag mutate at nagkaroon ng panibagong variation ang swine flu virus…

mas deadlier ang second outbreak. kaya palakasin natin ang ating mga resistensya para naman matuloy ang mga balak nating reunion kapag uugod ugod na tayo! alrytie?

bongga diba ang topic namin sa botany ang lawak ng kaalaman ni prof yun nga lang saglit lang yun back to reality boring again ahaha kasi binalik ng prof namin yung topic about plants pinakita nya yung mga virus ng tomato sa cabbage ahaha ayun nakatulog na ulit ako

kayo ba anu mga natutunan nyo this week share it dali!
para lahat tayo kahit minsan nag-uusap ng nakakanose bleed na bagay ahaha

sana shark nalang ako ahaha ang labo eh kasi sabi sa trivia
“Sharks are immune to all known diseases. “
eto source ko ahaha ano to thesis http://studentsblog.web44.net/?p=68

yehey alam ko na email nyo

I declamed when I was in secondary

VENGEANCE IS NOT OURS, IT’S GOD’S

Alms, alms, alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy. I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged.
Why are you staring at me? With my eyes I cannot see but I know that you are all staring at me. Why are you whispering to one another? Why? Do you know my mother? Do you know my father? Did you know me five years ago? Yes, five years of bitterness have passed. I can still remember the vast happiness mother and I shared with each other. We were very happy indeed.
Suddenly, five loud knocks were heard on the door and a deep silence ensued. Did the cruel Nippon’s discover our peaceful home? Mother ran to Father’s side pleading. “Please, Luis, hide in the cellar, there in the cellar where they cannot find you,” I pulled my father’s arm but he did not move. It seemed as though his feet were glued to the floor.
The door went “bang” and before us five ugly beasts came barging in. “Are you Captain Luis Santos?” roared the ugliest of them all. “Yes,” said my father. “You are under arrest,” said one of the beasts. They pulled father roughly away from us. Father was not given a chance to bid us goodbye.
We followed them mile after mile. We were hungry and thirsty. We saw group of Japanese eating. Oh, how our mouths watered seeing the delicious fruits they were eating,
Then suddenly, we heard a voice call, “Consuelo. . . . Oscar. . . . Consuelo. . . . Oscar. . . . Consuelo. . . . Oscar. . . .” we ran towards the direction of the voice, but it was too late. We saw father hanging on a tree. . . . dead. Oh, it was terrible. He had been badly beaten before he died. . . . and I cried vengeance, vengeance, vengeance! Everything went black. The next thing I knew I was nursing my poor invalid mother.
One day, we heard the church bell ringing “ding-dong, ding-dong!” It was a sign for us to find a shelter in our hide-out, but I could not leave my invalid mother, I tried to show her the way to the hide-out.
Suddenly, bombs started falling; airplanes were roaring overhead, canyons were firing from everywhere. “Boom, boom, boom, boom!” Mother was hit. Her legs were shattered into pieces. I took her gently in my arms and cried, “I’ll have vengeance, vengeance!” “No, Oscar. Vengeance, it’s God’s,” said mother.
But I cried out vengeance. I was like a pent-up volcano. “Vengeance is mine not the Lord’s”. “No, Oscar. Vengeance is not ours, it’s God’s” these were the words from my mother before she died.
Mother was dead and I was blind. Vengeance is not ours? To forgive is divine but vengeance is sweeter.
That was five years ago, five years. . . .
Alms, alms, alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy. I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged. Vengeance is not ours, it’s God’s. . . . It’s. . . . God’s. . It’s…

This was a copy of my piece that I had when I was in High school. I remember when Ms. Abiog told us to memorize all of this in a span of two weeks while we were busy with other requirements that our mentors gave us. Well, it was 8 years then when I had a chance to declame this piece infront of 47 kiddos who were also equipped of this. I remember too when I declamed this in a not-so-good manner with a reason that it is my first time. First shouldn’t be perfect yeah?! But this was one of the things I miss in High school, reading novels, commenting to it, memorizing pieces for the declamation contest, honing your skills in public speaking and what have you. I miss my highschool, Don Bosco Technical Institute Makati. I miss the people who helped me be what I am now. I miss my advisers, Miss Abiog, Mr. Gonzaga, Mr. Escayde and Ma’m Malou. I had alot of fun when I was in this stage. One thing I am proud of in my life and that is.. I AM A BOSCONIAN.

Thank you
